Book Description
This groundbreaking work studies the Arabic literary culture of early modern Southeast Asia on the basis of largely unstudied and unknown manuscripts. It offers new perspectives on intellectual interactions between the Middle East and Southeast Asia, the development of Islam and especially Sufism in the region, the relationship between the Arabic and Malay literary traditions, and the manuscript culture of the Indian Ocean world. It brings to light a large number of hitherto unknown texts produced at or for the courts of Southeast Asia, and examines the role of royal patronage in supporting Arabic literary production in Southeast Asia.

Book Description
Aceh has become best known in our times for its twin disasters—the worst earthquake and tsunami of modern times in December 2004, and a long-running separatist conflict that rent Indonesia for most of its independent history. Although this book emerged from the process of recovery from those traumas, it turns the spotlight on a more positive and neglected claim Aceh has on our attention, as the Southeast Asian maritime state that most successfully and creatively maintained its independent place in the world until 1874. Like Burma, Siam and Vietnam, all better protected by geography, Aceh has its own story to tell of a unique culture struggling for survival through the European colonial era. Unfortunately the sources for this story are scattered, since Aceh’s own records have not well survived the ravages of climate, civil war and eventual foreign conquest. To recover its cosmopolitan history an unparalleled range of sources and skills had to be brought together. Aceh’s central role in the creation of Malay literature out of Arabic, Persian, Indian and Indonesian elements had to be explored with reference to texts surviving in a dozen world libraries (Teuku Iskandar, Amirul Hadi). The rich archeological record, neglected through the long years of conflict, had again to be brought into play (Daniel Perret), and the extensive relations of the Aceh sultanate with the Ottoman Empire (Ismail Göksoy and Ismail Kadı, Andrew Peacock & Annabel Gallop), Portugal (Jorge Alves), England (Annabel Gallop), and the Netherlands (Sher Banu and Jean Taylor) had to be explored, chiefly in European archives by experts in these respective fields. The result of this combined work in this volume is the most comprehensive picture so far of sources for the history of Aceh.

Book Description
Politik kenegaraan Melayu memerikan kepandaian ilmu pentadbiran negara yang asli lahir dalam sejarah institusi kesultanan Melayu, suatu bentuk ilmu pengetahuan tentang cara mentadbir dan melaksanakan pemerintahan negara yang berpaksikan prinsip kedaulatan dan ketuanan Melayu. Dalam sistem tradisi ini, raja selaku ketua negara, agama dan adat istiadat menjadi pusat kekuasaan dengan dibantu oleh sekumpulan pembesar yang menjalankan pelbagai tugas pentadbiran kerajaan yang berhubungan terus dengan rakyat jelata. Teras kepada politik kenegaraan Melayu ialah raja yang bertakhta dan memiliki kuasa melaksanakan pemerintahan negara. Takhta dan kuasa menjadi inti pati atau nukleus kepada politik kenegaraan Melayu dan mengisi sebahagian besar ruang persuratan istana Melayu. Pewarisan takhta berasal usul daripada wa’ad raja dengan rakyat seperti yang tersurat dalam Sulalatus Salatin yang membentuk arketaip politik kenegaraan Melayu sehingga ke hari ini. Sementara kuasa dan kekuasaan pula amat berhubungan dengan kelahiran undang-undang dan amalan adat istiadat yang mengukuhkan atau mengawal keutuhan takhta. Sejarah penulisan buku yang khusus tentang panduan politik kenegaraan Melayu boleh disusuri semula melalui karya ketatanegaraan yang lahir di istana Aceh Darussalam pada abad ke-17, seperti Nasihat al-Muluk, Taj al-Salatin dan Bustan al-Salatin. Karya yang menerima pengaruh daripada tradisi politik kenegaraan Islam tersebut mengandungi pelbagai panduan bertulis tentang pembentukan keperibadian raja dan pembesar dan berperanan sebagai cermin adab kepimpinan mapan kepada mereka dalam melaksanakan pemerintahan negara. Hakikatnya hampir semua karya yang memerikan sejarah politik kesultanan Melayu lahir pada zaman penjajahan Barat di Alam Melayu dan hal ini menimbulkan persoalan tentang tujuan tersurat dan tersirat penulisan karya-karya tersebut sebagai benteng ketahanan politik kenegaraan Melayu. Karya-karya besar yang terhasil pada satu-satu zaman mengandungi kepelbagaian maklumat tentang konsep negara, tokoh pemimpin, suara rakyat dan pengajaran moral yang berhubungan dengan politik yang berlaku pada masa lalu. Karya-karya ini sewajarnya terus menjadi sumber rujukan sehingga ke hari ini, sama ada daripada sudut pendekatan sejarah persuratan yang diakronik atau sinkronik. Gagasan ini memerlukan penelitian filologi yang berterusan terhadap karya Melayu yang masih wujud dalam bentuk manuskrip Jawi yang berada di dalam dan di luar negara. Kini, semua hasil persuratan yang lahir pada abad ke-15 sehingga awal abad ke-20 yang memperlihatkan kekuatan isi dan kehalusan seni kepengarangan Melayu telah disanjung oleh masyarakat sebagai Karya Agung Melayu, sekali gus meninggikan teras politik kenegaraan Melayu dalam menghadapi cabaran kehidupan pada abad ke-21 ini.

Book Description
During the half century following Malaysian independence in 1957, the country’s National Museum underwent a transformation that involved a shift from serving as a repository for displays of mounted butterflies and stuffed animals and accounts of the colonial experience to an overarching national narrative focused on culture and history. These topics are sensitive and highly disputed in Malaysia, and many of the country’s museums contest the narrative that underlies displays in the National Museum, offering alternative treatments of subjects such as Malaysia's pre-Islamic past, the history and heritage of the Melaka sultanate, memories of the Japanese Occupation, national cultural policy, and cultural differences between the Federation’s constituent states. In Museums, History and Culture in Malaysia, Abu Talib Ahmad examines museum displays throughout the country, and uses textual analysis of museum publications along with interviews with serving and retired museum officers to evaluate changing approaches to exhibits and the tensions that they express, or sometimes create. In addition to the National Museum, he considers museums and memorials in Penang, Kedah, Perak, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Sabah, Kelantan and Terengganu, as well as memorials dedicated to national heroes (such as former Prime Ministers Tunku Abdul Rahman and Tun Abdul Razak Hussein, and film and recording artist P. Ramlee). The book offers rich and fascinating insights into differing versions of the country’s character and historical experience, and efforts to reconcile these sometimes disparate accounts.

Book Description
Karya ini sekali lagi mempamerkan keberanian pengarangnya dalam memberikan tafsiran baru terhadap satu lagi karya klasik agung orang Melayu. Kali ini dengan menggunakan kaedah filologi, Prof. Emeritus Datuk Dr. Ahmat Adam secara kritis telah membedah isi kandungan sebuah hikayat yang selama lebih daripada dua abad ternyata salah dibaca dan silap ditransliterasikan ke huruf Rumi oleh para pengkaji Orientalis dan tempatan. Kesalahan zaman-berzaman ini jugalah yang menjadikan hikayat yang masyhur ini telah silap ditafsirkan bukan sahaja dari segi penyebutan nama gelaran Laksamana Melaka yang sebenar, tetapi juga dari segi isi kandungan yang menceritakan petualangan Laksamana yang masyhur itu. Yang menjadi lebih parah lagi ialah selepas kisah legendaris Laksamana itu diceriterakan oleh pengarang Sulalat u’s-Salatin, kisah pengembaraannya yang dilukiskan di dalam Hikayat Hang Tuha telah mempengaruhi pemikiran sebahagian anggota masyarakat dan dipercayai oleh mereka itu sebagai kisah yang benar-benar terjadi dalam sejarah Melaka. Melalui kajian ini pengarang cuba mengajak pembaca agar menilai sendiri karya sastera yang berlatarkan sejarah ini, dan cuba berfikir secara kritis untuk membezakannya dengan sebuah karya sejarah yang lebih tulen mengenai kesultanan Melaka dan Laksamana yang benar-benar wujud pada zaman abad ke-15 dan ke-16.

Book Description
Between the mid-sixteenth and early nineteenth century, the Mughal Empire was an Indo-Islamic dynasty that ruled as far as Bengal in the east and Kabul in the west, as high as Kashmir in the north and the Kaveri basin in the south. The Mughals constructed a sophisticated, complex system of government that facilitated an era of profound artistic and architectural achievement. They promoted the place of Persian culture in Indian society and set the groundwork for South Asia's future development. In this volume, two leading historians of early modern South Asia present nine major joint essays on the Mughal Empire, framed by an essential introductory reflection. Making creative use of materials written in Persian, Indian vernacular languages, and a variety of European languages, their chapters accomplish the most significant innovations in Mughal historiography in decades, intertwining political, cultural, and commercial themes while exploring diplomacy, state-formation, history-writing, religious debate, and political thought. Muzaffar Alam and Sanjay Subrahmanyam center on confrontations between different source materials that they then reconcile, enabling readers to participate in both the debate and resolution of competing claims. Their introduction discusses the comparative and historiographical approach of their work and its place within the literature on Mughal rule. Interdisciplinary and cutting-edge, this volume richly expands research on the Mughal state, early modern South Asia, and the comparative history of the Mughal, Ottoman, Safavid, and other early modern empires.
